Missing out on somehow making a profit that will pay back all the investment & debt they have sunk into this stupid thing that will never give them ROI. A thing that costs more the more its used, ti.e., has no economy of scale.

The pervasive fear you're detecting is that caused by the dawning realization that they've invested billions in a product that will never be profitable & they may not be able to find a bag holder for their boondoggle this time.

Someone needs to stage an intervention on this very real addiction these people have where they are addicted to appearing productive all the time, it's daft and they are doing themselves serious harm.
